Rodriguez is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with two home runs and four RBI during his current six-game hitting streak, so he’ll be missed as the Yankees attempt to jump the Orioles in the AL Wild Card race. However, there’s a good chance he’ll be ready to go in the next day or so.

Rodriguez is batting .280/.359/.451 with four home runs, 10 RBI, and an .810 OPS in 92 plate appearances since joining the Yankees last month.

How long until the story about how sum-of-all-evil A-Rod went out of his way to sneeze on Brian Cashman’s kids comes out? I can practically see the NY Post’s headline now “BIOLOGICAL WARFARE IN THE BRONX”

hey PC how is last place treating you?? Id get used to it if I were you cause its gonna get a lot worse before it gets better brother!! How’s the new Buffalo BOB screen name treating ya? hahhahaa you fool nobody tool

Regardless of the reason, if he is so determined to contribute, and help his team win then he should at least try and play through it. Every game is a Wild Card elimination game for the NYY, his a** belongs playing unless he is on life support. He may end up having the rest of his career to sit out and have the “flu”. Just sayin…
